Solar co-op volunteer helps spread the word about the St. Pete Summer Co-op.

The 30-participant St. Pete Summer Solar Co-op has issued a request for proposals (RFP) from area solar installers. The group participants created the co-op to save money and make going solar easier, while building a network of solar supporters. The group will host an information meeting June 27 at 1:30 p.m. at Allendale United Methodist Church to educate the community about solar and the co-op process.

Local installers interested in serving the group can download the RFP and response template. Southern Pinellas and St. Petersburg area residents interested in joining the co-op can sign up at the co-op web page.

Joining the co-op is not a commitment to purchase panels. Co-op participants will select a single company to complete all of the installations. They will then have the option to purchase panels individually based on the installer’s group rate. By going solar as a group and choosing a single installer, participants can save up off the cost of going solar and have the support of fellow group particpants and solar experts at Solar United Neighbors.
